I kinda expected this to read “Me and my demon vibing because we’ve known each other so long” or sth

Depends on you - can you deal with asking yourself tricky questions and finding good answers? Or does the challenge make you uncomfortable?

but thoughts all the way up. ;-)

I think the problem stems of the fact that google was convinced in 2000 that the internet needs to make money to keep being developed.

And that belief is primarily inspired by neoliberal belief that everything needs to make money.

However, information should be free. And so should the internet.

And to follow up on that:

;D

There was a sweet spot when computers were actually made out of transistors.

Nowadays, they’re all made by arcane magic.

You can’t teach a fish to fly, and you can’t teach a republican to think critically.

I think we just have to accept that reading (critically) isn’t for everybody. There’s just people who prefer to talk out of their asses.

And we’ll have to find a way to live with that.

it’s not just reading skills, it’s also ability to cross-correlate information to other information and perform consistency checks.

well yeah but probably they should have expected it …

quick question - what the hell do you do with a modern computer without internet access anyways?

It’s windows, that’s why.

My stance is: when arguing on lemmy, you’re not only trying to convince the other one. You’re also trying to convince future readers. Even if the other one is an asshole, people see that and that has an effect.

Genies appear when you “rub the lamp”.

“Rubbing the lamp” is possibly a symbolism for sexual intercourse. It describes the exchange of sexual services against “favors”, i.e. wishes.

As such, it coded a possible course of action of young, powerless people in need to receive a wish.

No they meant brake. Like, the urinal’s smooth and continued function brakes. Comes to a halt.

but there is no real monetary incentive right now.

dude, solar energy is literally the cheapest form of energy right now. there is a real monetary incentive.

i’d like to be a labor leader, but i’m not (yet). Yet here’s my opinion:

Knowledge was meant to be free since the beginning. I look at ideas as human-cultivated, carefully cultured viruses. They’re packages of information that live within a host.

They’re a lot less aggressive than their feral counterparts, but they’re still individual beings who want to spread. Holding back knowledge is unnatural, and the internet should be free.

Water dissociates in the presence of electrical voltage into hydrogen and oxygen, and that makes it somewhat conductive (due to ionisation).

The bigger problem however is corrosion. Said oxygen causes corrosion.

the onion can not keep up with this, because fiction has to be believable, unlike reality ;-)
